Whats the biggest Drag radial i can fit with a stock 17" SS wheel? If i have to do a little hammering thats cool. Pics would be great!! I read 285 but they dont make them in a 17 And i really like to go wider then a 275 if at all possible

What width is your SS rim?

I have ran 17X9.5 rim with 285 tires never rubbed.

315/35/17 Nitto 555R fits on 17x9 and 17x9.5 wheels. I have had this tire on both of those sizes and it works fine. There's some bulge in the side wall on 17x9, very little on the 9.5 Note that the 555R is not nearly as wide as other tires in this size which is why it works on the narrow size wheels. It wont work with other brands of tire or even other models in the Nitto line.
